That's really interesting, Wayne, because some years ago I was out guest
"lobstering" with a friend of a friend off of Swans Island, Maine, and
the fog was as thick as pea soup on the way back. We couldn't see far
enough ahead to locate trap floats 50 feet away, or even 25 feet away.


I have no doubt at all that your fog is thicker than my fog, or anyone
elses for that matter.

It wasn't my fog, w'hine. I was simply a passenger on a working lobster
boat. Of course, if it had been as big as your boat, we could have seen
right through the fog.

Absolutely right. That's our old cruising ground and we still get
back there once in a while. The area of Maine in the vicinity of Mt
Desert Island and Acadia Nataiona Park is arguably the most scenic
part of the entire US east coast. The lobster trap and fog issues
are very real, but surmountable with a little practice and experience.

Next time you're in that neck of the woods and you need a deckhand that
doesn't
chase whiskey and women, let me know.

Hee hee...we could make a reality show from you two 'cruzin' the NorthEast
area.



You use the word "we" too much, Don. Do you have an imaginary fan club?

Too bad you are not still out there doing some real work for a change,
learning about real people and real boats.

W'hine, w'hine, w'hine...I'm still "out there doing real work...you're
the one doing nothing of consequence.

I had no idea that trolling Usenet was considered work these days.

How are the pay and benefits?

Trolling usenet? My guess is that you post in more newsgroups than I do,
w'hine.

Since no one ever wins an argument with a woman or the mentally ill, I
will allow youto maintain that fantasy.
